Sometimes, you're wrong.
"Rule Fifty-One" was the title of the 7th season finale of the TV show "NCIS," referring to Special Agent Gibbs' established 50 rules for being a special agent of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. At the end of the episode, in which he needed a lawyer, he went through a box with pieces of paper on which he'd written his rules, and one said, "#13 NEVER, EVER INVOLVE A LAWYER." He turned it over and wrote, "#51 SOMETIMES YOU'RE WRONG." A major admission for Gibbs, even to himself. If he can admit it, we all can.

DiNozzo: "Well, Ziva, it's like Ben Affleck said in 'The Hunt for Red October'... "
McGee: "Tony, Affleck didn't start playing Jack Ryan until 'The Sum of All Fears.' Alec Baldwin played Ryan in 'Red October.'"
DiNozzo: "Seriously, McGeek? YOU are challenging ME on a movie reference? I'm always right about these things, especially when Sean Connery is in the movie!"
Gibbs (slapping DiNozzo on the back of the head): "Rule 51."
DiNozzo: "Ow! Oh yeah: 'Sometimes, you're wrong.'"

Rule 51 states that there will always be even more screwed-up things on the internet than anything that you had just seen.
Rule 51 basically means there will always be something worse than what you just saw, no matter what it is, there will always be more.

An internet rule which states: For every act of nature or man there will be someone within a short period of time that will attribute that act to a conspiracy theory.
Terrorists kill someone? False Flag! Clouds look weird? Conspiracy to poison us all! Another school shooting? Never happened! Just a conspiracy to take our guns! Government says it is a weather balloon? Alien cover-up!
Corollary: If you can think of it, there's a conspiracy theory about it somewhere online.
